As we approach the end of 2025, I’m looking back and reflecting on the year that's passed.
It’s so easy to get caught in the day-to-day of client calls, deadlines and emails that we forget to stop and look back.
Reflection sounds simple, but it takes real discipline.
I’ll admit, I don’t reflect as much as I want to.
I’d like to. Because when we don’t pause, we lose sight of just how much progress those small, consistent actions actually create.
When I finally did sit down to take stock of this year, here’s what I saw:
I’ve shown up on LinkedIn every single day for over a year. That’s 365 posts that educated, encouraged, and sometimes challenged the conversation around career growth.
The newsletter that you’re reading has hit a 49-week streak.
I was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from my university.
I faced my fears and returned to public speaking after a long break.
Each of those things looked small in the moment, but consistency turned them into something bigger.
That’s the power of reflection: it reminds us that progress doesn’t always look like momentum.
Sometimes it looks like persistence.
If you haven’t done it yet, I encourage you to take 10 minutes this week to ask yourself:
What did I build this year, one small action at a time?
Whether you realize it or not, your daily work has already added up to something meaningful.
And since we’re talking about growth, let’s look ahead.
What’s your biggest professional goal for next year?
If it’s something else entirely, hit reply and tell me.
I hope you enjoy a wonderful end to the year.
Talk soon,
Heather
